    IMI quality

    Evidently it happened quite a while ago, but does anybody have reliable information on whether IMI ammunition quality suffered after gov sold to private defense company? I've only ever purchased the 62g green tip to double as range ammo and stockpile. Never had any issues but didn't realize it wasn't still owned by Israeli government until recently.

    I've never heard of any systemic problems with the company. I remember something a while back about a batch of their ammo being crap for accuracy, but I haven't heard anything since. I would think they're as good or better than Lake City.

    IMI M193 has been my go to for years. I've never had an issue.

    Had an issue with a case of their “Green Box” 77 gr. couple years back.
    (It’s their “Razor Core” m262 clone minus sealant)
    It ran 100+ FPS slower than the Brown Box/mil version.
    Contacted IMI and they replaced ammo.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    No issues with various lots of mk262 razorcore. Consistent performance and precision over several years.

    For quite a while the only hot 9mm ammo was made by IMI.
    Never heard anything bad about them.

    No issues with a case of 77gr core, it is definitely loaded on the hot side

    One guy here swore the 77 gr IMI was wrecking his gas rings. He was the only one with this issue, so it must have been another reason. I always love the Q3131a ammo. Picture perfect stuff.

    I wonder what other ammo plants there are in Israel. Iraqgunz gave me a box full of mixed Israeli 5.56 ammo to salvage, and there was a lot of horrible crap in there. An ugly mixture of stuff you wouldn't run in your gun. Definitely didn't appear to be IMI.

    To the best of my knowledge IMI is the only one, welcome to socialist/commie heaven that we were cursed with and still trying to shed.
